Schematic overview of beneficial microbes that evade or suppress root immune responses as described in the main text. (a) Beneficial microbes can evade PRR recognition by either evolving divergent MAMPs or masking the presence of excessive MAMPs. (b) Beneficial microbes can interfere with different host immune signalling components by secreting effectors. (c) Symbiosis‐related molecules produced by symbiotic microbes can suppress root immunity [Colour figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
